SANFORD — An 18-year-old Casselberry woman reported that her date raped her early Tuesday behind an Altamonte Springs bar.

The victim told Seminole County deputy sheriffs that she, two friends and the man went out together Monday night. Her two girlfriends dropped them off at Club 436, off State Road 436, and her date told them he would take her home.

The woman said she was talking to a friend on the telephone when her date yanked away the receiver and carried her to an open field behind the club's restaurant. She said she was raped sometime between 4:40 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.

Afterward, she walked to a home on Jackson Street and called the sheriff's department. She was treated at Central Florida Regional Medical Center in Sanford.

In other police news, an Orlando man charged with walking away from a traffic accident in Altamonte Springs Monday night was charged later with burglary and indecent exposure after a woman and her daughter said a nude man broke into their house and made lewd suggestions.

About 9 p.m., a nude man walked into a condominium unit at The Landings on State Road 434 after letting himself in through an unlocked sliding glass door, Altamonte Springs police reported. He then locked the door and entered the living room where a 16-year-old girl was watching television.

The girl said the man made a lewd remark to her and that she yelled for her mother to get out of the house before leaving through the front door.

The man then found the girl's 33-year-old mother and repeated his suggestion, police said. The woman left through a bedroom window. Neither person was assaulted during the break-in.

Unable to unlock the sliding glass door to leave, the man broke the glass with his hand and left. Neighbors telephoned police to report a nude man walking in the area.

A short while later, police arrested Johnnie Johnson, 29, 341 Broadway, Orlando, near S.R. 434 and Calabria Drive. Police said he was nude when arrested and refused to put clothes on.

He declined treatment for a cut hand and was booked into the Seminole County jail on charges of burglary of an occupied dwelling, indecent exposure, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to immediately report an accident, and failure to maintain a single lane.

The last three charges stemmed from a traffic accident Johnson was involved in on S.R. 434, south of Orange Avenue, about 8:20 p.m., police said.
